I've been experiencing constant pain in my legs, mostly around my knees for about a month now, and it's getting hard to climb stairs. I'm really curious about what's causing this pain. Could you help me understand what's going on?

The constant pain in your legs, mainly around the knee area, and difficulty climbing stairs could be due to various reasons such as overuse or strain, osteoarthritis, ligament sprains, tendonitis, or even vitamin D deficiency; consider consulting an orthopedic specialist

Question

I'm a 40-year-old guy dealing with joint pain, stiffness, and it's making it hard for me to get around. The doctor prescribed dart tablets, but they leave me feeling really anxious, agitated, and nauseous. Any ideas on other meds I could try that might not have these side effects?

Question

I've been dealing with pain on the entire left side of my body from head to toe for the past 3 years. It starts at my neck, goes through my shoulder, arm, hand joints, lower back, hip, leg, and foot. The worst pain hits my shoulder joint at the back and lower back, but its only on my left side. An orthopaedic suggested I try vitamin D and B12 supplements, which I did, but they didnt help. Some days, the pain is so bad I cant even do any work, and other days its just a bit less. Im really concerned because I havent met anyone with the same issue. Could you tell me what kind of doctor I should see and what this might be? I'm really worried about whats going on.

Question

I'm taking folitrax injection 15 mg every week and I'm just wondering, could it cause issues with my digestive system or liver? Also, are there any other noticeable side effects I should be aware of?
